finding joy in the little things

a work-free saturday

it doesn’t happen often, what with working at a busiest-on-the-weekends downtown hotel, so when it does, we’re quick to take advantage of it. streetcar’d down to union station. crammed as much science city as we could into the one hour we had. on our way out, liam made a quick phone call on an out-of-order payphone to remind grandma and grandpa he loved them. waltzed through the park (a tiny stretch of grass constitutes a park when you live in the city, right? either way, i’m calling it a park) across the street. admired the western auto building sign, as usual. headed further south to the crossroads. popped into lulu’s to share a couple orders of pad thai and a big ol’ glass of lemonade. coloured nearly every inch of the kids menu. had a funny face-off while we waited for the streetcar to arrive and bring us home.
